What time is it there?!

The coach dropped us off within about two blocks of the Space Needle. Unfortunately this was not really anywhere near where we were staying, so we didn’t have to wait too long before getting to grips with the public transport. The alternative was a taxi but the bus turned out to be a good idea, since we didn’t have the correct change and the bus driver let us go for free (which we certainly didn’t expect!).

Seattle was our second hostel stay and turned out to be even better than the first. The location was great, right next door to the Pike Place Market and very central for the rest of the city.

We had the chance to go and watch the Seattle Seahawks play on Sunday, but decided against it for two reasons. Firstly, we weren’t sure whether we could really sit through a whole game of American Football, and secondly it turned out that the only tickets available on the day of the game were $245 each. So we chose to spend the afternoon walking around more of the city instead!
